Reviews

daschund_fan A timeless T.V. classic. Proves that not everything on T.V. has to be crude or obscene to be funny. Great to watch with the family. A couple of younger family members didn't have high hopes for this being a funny show, due to its lack of "shock" humor, but after giving this show a chance, they love it! Nothing like a trip back in time to when things were a little more orderly and care-free.A show with some of the best talent known to mankind in the entertainment industry. Beautiful wardrobe, great plot lines and the character personalities on this show work so well with each other! As far as T.V. classics go, I don't think this show can be beat!
Syl I Love Lucy was more than just a sitcom. It was beginning of television situation comedies. Lucille Ball was already a television and radio actress. Jess Oppenheimer was the creative force behind Lucy. With him and head writers, Madelyn Pugh and Bob Carroll Jr., they created some of television's most memorable moments. The execution of their writing was done by a first rate cast. The multi talented Lucille Ball played Lucy Ricardo. Her real life husband and partner, Desi Arnaz, played her musician husband and band leader, Ricky Ricardo. The supporting cast was Fred and Ethel Mertz. They were played beautifully by film and vaudeville veteran William Frawley and theatre actress Vivian Vance. Lucy and Ethel's friendship was key in the show's success. Ironically Ricky and Fred became close friends off screen as well from the show. Frawley and Vance may have personally disliked each other but were professional enough for the show. This show had many breakthroughs. You couldn't have asked for a better show!
anthony-rigoni To be honest, I think "I love Lucy" should receive a 10/10 on IMDb and why? Because I love Lucy, you love Lucy, and we all love Lucy! Lucille Ball stars as Lucy Ricardo, wacky wife of Ricky Ricardo(Desi Arnaz), a famous conga drum player(he's known his hit song "Babalu".) They live next door with their landlords Ethel Mertz(Vivian Vance) and Fred Mertz(Bill Frawly). And, when it comes to Lucy Ricardo, there's no stopping the memorable laughs! Now, let me introduce you to two of 10 of my favorite episodes...Lucy Does a TV Commercial- Lucy gets drunk from Vitavetavigimin during a commercial shooting. Every time she drinks that stuff, she becomes more and more loopy! I couldn't stop laughing! Home Movies- During a showing of Ricky's "Home Movies" many clips are mixed in with his song. And when it got to the point where the movie was going backwards and fast-forwarded, I almost laughed my head off! You'll love Lucy, Ricky, Ethel, and Fred in the classic TV series "I Love Lucy"! I guarantee you'll be laughing so hard, you'll fall out of your seats! I recommend this show to anyone who loves Lucy! 1000000/10
rgse90 I Love Lucy is the greatest series ever produced on television. For its time and its year of production it was the highest quality series ever produced. Not only that but Lucy and Desi saw the future of the series and owned the rights for repeats when repeats were not even thought of. Desi also created the 3 camera angle which is still used today for recording. They were geniuses ahead of their time. Unfortunately Desi was also a ladies man and this caused to the downfall of their marriage and the series.If you were to really think about the magnitude of the series, Lucy was married to a Spanish guy long before anyone accepted Hispanics in television. Desi spoke Spanish on television long before people accepted Spanish as another language in this country. Everything Lucy and Desi did for the I Love Lucy show as the first of its kind and was not repeated for years later.The quality of I Love Lucy in black and white also make it very top rate. It is the top rate humor with the cleanest of clean scripts. Every family should show these episodes to their children to grow up with morals and values. Television does not have to be filth and vulgarity all the time.I love Lucy will celebrate its 100th birthday one day and will still be the show to watch even in 2050. We must also thank Little Lucy and Desi for sharing their parents with us. Their childhoods were ultimately ruined because of their parents dedication and love for acting. Without that sacrifice we would not be enjoying I Love Lucy today. They also allow us to continue to watch it everyday on Nick at Night/TV Land. It is because of their loss of childhood that we get to enjoy their parents. I do not think that people recognize this fact enough, if at all. So thank you to Lucy and Desi's families for making us laugh everyday.
